Your Academic Transcript

In the world of higher education, your transcript is a certified record (inventory) of a student's course of study history.  An official transcript serves as a copy of a student's permanent academic record, which usually means all courses taken, all grades received, all honors received and degrees conferred to a student from the first day of school to the current school year. A transcript may also contain the student’s rank in class and the accreditation of the institution issuing the transcript.

An official transcript is prepared and sent by the issuing school usually by the registrar with an original signature of a school official on the school letterhead and is sealed by the school. When students change schools, or seek admission to or to another college or university, the official transcript is usually mailed from school to school. When applying to college after high school a transcripts usually consist of grades 9-12.
